Raquel and I finally did it. We have chased storms, sunsets, brumbies and after weeks of watching the weather we got a lighting strike.

I’m still buzzing, that would have to be one of the best highs I’ve had in a long time.

    Im pretty jealous i gotta say, iv’e never really got a great lightning shot like this..
    love the water that is lit up and the purple reflection. Stunning prefect capture Melanie.

  • This was pure luck. We just picked a spot off the road a bit out of twon. I didn’t even know the river was below us or the powerlines. But I have now found a good spot.

    Nice one, going through a storm drought on the goldie. Hopefully this has you addicted to get out and catch the next storm.

  • Thank you. I’m completely addicted now. Living inland we don’t get as many lightning strikes as when I’ve been at the coast (about 2 hours drive from where I live). Although it is thunderstorm season here though. We had an Electrical storm on Saturday night but no strikes.

    Oh wow, well done! Is this down nea Point Hut? Last night I discovered just how frustrating lightning can be to capture… I love the colours & the reflection in the river :-)

  • Thanks Rachel, I can’t wait to see Racquel’s. We were on Smiths Road near Tharwa and got Hailed on.

    I love the little reflection that gives a highlight to the earth below. Wonderful capture Melanie.

  • Thank you John,

    I didn’t know the river was there until I got home. I was shooting in complete darkness. One of those lucky shots
